There have been allegations that his girlfriend Cristine Reyes didn’t want to work with Joross so she requested that Rayver be given the role instead. But the ever-accommodating actor insisted that Cristine wouldn’t do such a thing. “Hindi naman ganon si AA (nickname of Cristine). Basta ang alam ko yung role na ibinigay sa akin, nung tinawagan ako ni Tita Mariole (Alberto, Star Magic head) sa akin talaga.”

Apparently, Rayver never talked about the issue with Joross even when they were together during the Star Magic tour last month. But he was quick to add that all is well between them despite the controversy. “Okay naman kami ni Joross. Nung nagkasama kami sa ASAP Singapore hindi namin napagusapan e. Hindi ko alam na may lumalabas na palang ganon.”

Rayver will be working closely with Dina Bonnevie and Tonton Gutierrez who play his parents in Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin. With such stellar casting, he said that he’s really challenged to showcase his dramatic prowess in this project. “Siyempre may kaba kahit papano dahil sa cast. And after ilang months mag-start na yung taping, kaya excited na ako magtrabaho.”
